Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices smoked turkey slices
  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based cheese, sliced or shredded

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons natural Dijon mustard (natural)
  • 1 cup natural creamy mushroom sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Topping Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup herb-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Lightly brown them in a skillet over medium heat until just cooked through but still juicy. Set aside as the tender base of your casserole.
  2. Layer the Smoked Turkey and Cheese: In a casserole dish, arrange a layer of smoked turkey slices evenly over the browned chicken breasts. Cover with generous slices or shredded plant-based cheese ensuring every bite will be melty and flavorful.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine natural Dijon mustard (natural), natural creamy mushroom sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and the natural gelling agent. Stir thoroughly until smooth and pourable. Pour the sauce evenly over the layered chicken and smoked turkey.
  4. Add the Topping: Sprinkle the herb-seasoned breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole. Scatter the fresh chopped parsley on the breadcrumbs for added color and freshness.
  5. Bake Until Bubbling and Golden: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the casserole for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted, the topping turns golden brown, and the sauce is bubbly around the edges. Remove and let rest slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Choose firm, fresh chicken breasts for optimal juiciness and flavor.
  • Do not overcook the chicken while browning to preserve moisture; most cooking finishes in the oven.
  • Distribute plant-based cheese evenly between turkey layers and on top for consistent creaminess.
  • Use freshly toasted herb-seasoned breadcrumbs for the best crunchy topping.
  • Allow the casserole to rest briefly after baking to let layers set and make slicing easier.
